I'm gonna post up starting pictures and measurements tomorrow. Will just be taking them from my last log, it ended very recently.

I wanna thank PNI and my buddy Ricky for hooking me up with 1 of each product for this. Expecting big things during this log, made some good progress during my last log, looking to carry that into this one as well.

All measurements were relaxed, pictures as well. Taken in a fasted state this morning, haven't looked at a side by side but I'm pleased with the measurements. A little bit of an increase in waist size, that could be from an error in measuring the first/second time. But with a 5lb gain in the last 8 weeks I am OK with a little bit of fat gain. It doesn't seem to be much anyway, so I assume they were mostly lean gains. This log has had it's ups and downs (with field training etc.) but overall I made good progress, I am not maxing but when I did max (4-5 weeks ago) I made improvements in all of my lifts (except BP, don't think I made much there). I am going to put up a review here in the next couple of days, will take some time to assess what all I noticed and collect all of my thoughts and assess my progress.

Deadlift training max will be assessed tomorrow after my warmup and then the actual workout for the day will begin.

Current training maxes (no grinding out the rep for these, had to be smooth lifts)

Squat: 315 (hit 325 but it was a grind so isn't applicable)OH Press: 135 Deadlift: ? (will be assessed tomorrow)

In the next 6 months I would like to have my squat at 350, my OH Press at 180, and my deadlift as close to 400 as possible (hard to make a goal when I don't know what I can do yet). I'm not currently benching outside of CG Bench for this next month (my PT plan already incorporates a good deal of horizontal pressing) but I would like to rep 205 on CG in 6 months time, I can do 185 for 4 with this but would like 205x8-12.

Looking to gain a solid 10-15 lbs this year. Put on three in the last 2 months and came out looking leaner than before, going to try and continue this trend.

The 315 felt good, getting off of the ground was slow (poor glute activation and hip drive) but I felt like 335 was attainable. Got the bar moving but the form went south and the grip gave out so I lowered weight, it just wasn't there for 325.

Can't comment on Paragon, hoping the NMDA helps with my sleep but expect to crash tonight anyway because I'm all f'ed up right now.

Initial notes on Prodigy: Initial taste was good (watermelon) but the aftertaste was like a kick in the crotch. Not the worst but certainly not the best tasting product (aftertaste). Energy was good, even for a deadlift day. I was sweating more than usual, can't necessarily attribute that to anything in particular as of yet but will be keeping an eye on this. Pump wasn't spectacular but it was improved, vascularity was up. Will wait to see if these strengthen with consistent dosing.

Workout Notes: I was hoping for more on my Deadlift but it just wasn't there. Haven't done conventional deadlift in a while so it isn't a big surprise but I was still really gunning for that 335. Hoping to get it closer to 375 in the next 6 months but will be happy with 350. I'm weak off of the ground and my grip is definitely a limiting factor, I got these little baby hands and they don't like to hold heavy weight. Also, as you can see I was one set short of the first complex, I wrote it incorrectly in my journal and thought it was only 2 rounds.

The effects of prodigy will only get better as you use it bro...I like the taste I use a little water and take it like a shot lol I'm not huge on taste as long as it works but I've certainly had worse much worse lol the orchard lean will keep you nice and vascular and your pump will keep up but focus is what you should notice the much and with paragon you should lose any water weight you get from the AI in it so that too will increase vascularity great job on the deads

Hey man nothin but the truth, I usually dislike people tht are just aesthetically built because they neglect strength and overall athletic balance , but you got em both man , mighty shredded physique and good strength bro.
